If the average voter were asked each of these two questions, it's not hard to deduce that the wording of question No. 2 is far more likely to garner "No" answers, regardless of the false assumptions the question relies on.
Researchers have tested the idea that ballot language affects voters' decisions and come to the same obvious conclusion.
Parents rights group Protect Kids California is suing the state's attorney general, Rob Bonta, for dishonestly crafting the title and summary of their proposed ballot initiative to benefit Democrats' policy preferences.
Bonta took it upon himself to title the initiative the "Restricts Rights of Transgender Youth Initiative." The summary created by his office says the initiative, in part, "Prohibits gender-affirming health care for transgender patients under 18, even if parents consent or treatment is medically recommended," and that it "Requires schools to notify parents whenever a student under 18 asks to be treated as a gender differing from school records without exception for student safety." According to California law, the attorney general's dishonest title and summary must appear on every page of the petition.
Protect Kids California is suing Bonta over his obvious attempt to prejudice voters and run interference against the ballot initiative.
Dishonest terms like "Gender-affirming care" sound positive and invite sympathy, even though the procedures described by the term are neither medical "Care" nor "Affirming" of a person's real sex.
Just like media blackouts or partnerships between election offices and left-wing dark-money groups - deceptive ballot initiative language is one of the many methods Democrats use to rig elections before the first vote is even cast.
